From One to Metaphor: Toward an Understanding of Pa'ikwené (Palikur) Mathematics
This article addresses an aspect of Pa’ikwené knowledge called púkúha, which means both “to understand” and “to count.” It explores the indigenous numerology and the close relationship,no less imaginative than empirical,between mathematics and linguistics that is not always apparent in non-oral societies such as ours. The Pa’ikwené mathematical system is conceptually inventive and lexically profuse, some numerals having over two hundred different…
Do um à metafora: Para um entendimento da matemática pa'ikwené (Palikur)
Este artigo discute um aspecto do conhecimento pa'ikwené chamado púkúha, que significa tanto "entender" quanto "contar". Ele explora a numerologia indígena e a relação próxima, não menos imaginativa do que empírica, entre a matemática e a lingüística, que nem sempre aparece em sociedades não orais como a nossa. O sistema matemático pa'ikwené é conceitualmente inventivo e lexicalmente profuso: alguns numerais têm mais de duzentas diferentes formas…
The Gathering of the Clans: The Making of the Palikurnaoné
The article focuses on the process ofnaoné-nationhood-of the Palikur, a Native American people of northern Brazil and southern French Guiana, from 1500 onward. It is described how, in counteraction to colonial expansion, a corpus of preexisting clans combined with diverse other ethnic entities to create, at its height (c. 1800), a dominant regional polity, itself linked to wider cross-ethnic macropolities under a single leader. New data are offer…
The place of politics: Powerful speech and women speakers in everyday Pa'ikwené (Palikur) life
This article focuses on the practice of female scolding in a community of Pa'ikwené (or Palikur), a native Amazonian people (French Guyana and Brazil), in order to explore ideas about power and speech and the phenomenon of political speaking. The article takes issue with claims that politics are to be equated specifically with the formal public arena, and that political discourse is the exclusive province and prerogative both of leaders and of me…
The value of working and speaking together
Ask a Pa&s;ikwene person about work, any work, and you are likely to be told that it is mahiko , i.e. &s;hard and difficult&s;. This evaluation coexists, however, with another, in which the process of work and productivity is held to be enjoyable, even joyful, and an activity as rewarding in terms of the emotions and communication as in material ones. This chapter is largely about Pa&s;ikwene work, then; and is to be seen as a contribution to the…
